WME – Multi-Edge Wiper

Increase lifetime with reliable oil removal performance

Are you experiencing excess oil in the distance piece or oil migration along the rod? Is your frame lube oil sump frequently running low, causing inconvenience and expense? Are conventional oil wipers scratching or wearing out your piston rods? If any of these issues are familiar to you, we understand your annoyance and impact on running operations. At HOERBIGER, we have the solution to these problems.

Multi-Edge Wiper for best oil removal performance in a single-ring design

Our Multi-Edge Wiper (WME) replaces the need from multiple scraper rings to a single multi-edges ring for best oil removal. Made of durable HY54 material, the WME wipes the rod smoothly and lasts up to three times longer than conventional wipers in the same application. The WME's unique design includes multiple garter springs, that hold the wiper perfectly tight against the rod, maximizing its oil removal capabilities. In addition, the WME is versatile and can be used with intermittent or infrequent lubrication, without generating excessive heat. Experience the best in oil removal and rod protection with the HOERBIGER Multi-Edge Wiper.

Mounting made easy

Typical in large compressors the wipers have to be mounted without unlatching the rod from the crosshead. Also here, HOERBIGER has come up with something useful: You have the option to use a 3D-printed mounting aid that makes the operation super easy.
